Oregon Congressmen
Accomplish Much in
Active First Session
WASHINGTON, July 20 (Pi
The Oregon Congressional dele
gation, though It had two new
house members, was one of the
most active In the first session
of the 78th Congress and acconv
pllshed much for the state.
A solid republican delegation,
it was led by Sen. McNary, mi
nority leader, and the veteran
Rep. Mott on the house side,
McNary's high standing in con
gress and among high govern'
ment officials generally aided
other members in their work
while Sen. Holman was active
on the appropriations commit
tee and succeeded in getting in'
creases in funds for reclamation
and fire protection after the
house had omitted them from
the appropriation bills.
Naval Affairs
On the house side, Mott was
engaged a great part of the se
sion in work of the naval af
fairs committee on which he is
the ranking republican
member.
Mott also is a member of the
house roads committee which
initiates legislation for federal
.aid to roads and on the public
lands committee.
AngeU Efforts
Rep. AngeU, a member of the
rivers and harbors committee,
the territories committee and
the committee on conservation
of wildlife resources, continued
his efforts to extend the social
security laws, to aid needy chil
dren, increase annuities for the
blind, to extend the veterans
pension law to men serving in
the present war, to increase the
disability pensions to veterans
of the Spanish war, the Philip
pine insurrection and China re
lief expedition from $60 to $75,
and another to authorize the
government to continue to pay
all persona serving in the armed
forces for one year after termi
nation of the war.
AngeU took especial interest
in the legislation affecting vet
erans and members of the
armed forces going directly to
the war and navy department
heads to get corrected what he
considered inequities in treat
ment of the men.
: When the summer recess
came AngeU had 24 bills being
considered in various commit
tees, some of which were com
panion measures to those intro
duced by the state's senators.
Metallurgical Laboratory
Rep. Ellsworth scored one of
the outstanding triumphs of the
session for a new member of
the house when his efforts re
sulted in getting the northwest
metallurgical laboratory placed
at Albany. The Roseburg pub
lisher also attracted notice with
his proposal that wood be uti
lized to provide protein feed for
livestock and urged a broader
use of wood.
He was active as a member
of the republican congressional
food study committee which in
vestigated the food situation.
Ellsworth maintained the food
shortage was artificial and
could be corrected by proper
handling. He placed the respon
sibility for it on President
Roosevelt and said the maze of
orders and regulations issued by
government departments were
confusing the producers and
merchants of the country. He
Pressure Cooking Rules
Told by Extension Agent
Homemakers need not fear
pressure cookers if they under
stood a few simple rules, says
Winnifred K. Gillen. Klamath
county home demonstration
agent. One rule that is common'
ly misunderstood is that a pres
sure cooker requires at least an
inch of water on the bottom to
prevent it from running dry
and possibly cracking the cook
er. Even more water than an
inch does not interfere with its
operation.
A second rule is to take the
safety valve apart each day
that the cooker is used and be
sure that it is not stuck with
grease and rust. The safety
valve contains a baU and spring
which are adjusted to release
the pressure in case it acciden
tally becomes too high. Most of
the explosions that one hears
about were due either to a clog
ged safety valve or to taking
the cover off the cooker before
the pressure gauge registered
zero the only safe place for it
to be.
Maintenance of a temperature
higher than boiling is necessary
for destruction of dangerous
bacteria. This high temperature
is attained in a pressure cooker
by steam pressure, not by air
pressure. Therefore, the petcock
of a pressure cooker is left open
when the cooker is first closed
to aUow air to escape.
The mixture of air and water
vapor which comes from the
nozzle of the petcock at first
feels cool to the hand. After
several minutes it feels warm
and then hot When the tem
perature, tested by passing the
hand through the jet of steam,
three or four inches from the
nozzle, feels hot, it is time to
close the petcock. Care is neces
sary' that enough time is al
lowed to rid the cooker of 'air
in order that a sufficiently high
temperature may be developed.
Retaining juice in glass jars
during processing is difficult, in
fact, complete retention is not
always possible. Keeping the
pressure steady and opening the
petcock gradually after the
has nine bills pending before
house committees.
Food Study Member
Rep. Stockman, another new
member, was active before com
mittees in seeking approval of
legislation he believed would
benefit his district and state.
He also is a member of the re
publican food study committee,
and is on two of its subcommit
tees. He introduced in the house
a companion measure to Sena
tor McNary's measure to pro
mote sustained yield practices
in handling forests of the na
tion. The McNary bill was
passed by the senate and when
congress returns from its recess
Stockman probably will move
to substitute it for his measure
and ask its passage in the
house.
The Pendleton member has
12 bills pending before house
committees and was active as
was the other members of the
delegation in seeking more
funds for fighting forest fires.
pressure gauge reaches zero at
the end of processing will aid
in retention of juice. Loss of
juice is not a problem of tin
canning.
The moisture on the under
side of the lid of the pressure
cooker should be removed with
a cloth before inverting the lid,
because allowing water to run
Into the pressure gauge may
damage it. The pressure cooker
is stored without a tight cover
to prevent off-flavors. Pressure
gauges are subject to inaccur
acy, and it is a good plan to
have them tested each year by
the manufacturer or through
the county extension office.

using a pressure cooker in can
ning are given in extension bul
letin 596, "Home Food Preser
vation," free upon request at

Dr. Lyle Stanford, chemistry In
structor at College of Idaho at
Caldwell, and Clyde Krebs of

ing a boat trip down the chop
py Owyhee river, were two
days overdue.
Mrs. Stanford, however, uld
she was "not at all worried be
cause Lyle's schedule was only
tentative and if he found low
water he might have had to
row the entire distance."
The boatmen left Rome. Ore.
Thursday and had planned to
meet Paul Snyder of Nampa at
Leslie canyon, 50 miles down
stream, on Sunday. They faUed
to arrive and an aerial survey
